WE'VE ENTERED VICTORIA (and then got sick) 

Lots of people have asked. We got sick from a restaurant in Port Fairy. The leftover pizza was refrigerated overnight and then spent a couple hours in a cooler (eski) before we ate it. Hope everyone had a good day 😄

You two are delightful , we really enjoy watching ! As a medical professional I'd suspect that unrefrigerated leftover Pizza.

Sorry - it's crap when you get food poisoning from a commercial establishment, especially on holiday when you can't report them because you've moved on. You are still one of the best and friendliest VLogs I've come across and you achieve that partly by being nice people. Thanks Mates.

Hope you guys are feeling better now! Enjoy the Grampians. Oh and btw ‘Tia for scale’ is my new favourite catch phrase when I’m measuring anything lol 😂

In the fifties, My Uncle was the chief of the South East S.A. Electricity Grid. His workers were installing a new power pole in the main street. Before they knew it, the pole disappeared. The whole area is honeycombed with caves and sink holes etc etc.. Mount Gambier comprises several cones the main ones being the Valley Lake and The Blue Lake named because each year it turns blue overnight and for some months before returning to grayish. Many Cave divers died in the area over the years. As you head east, Victoria (west of Melbourne) is one gigantic (extinct) volcanic plain. The second biggest on Earth. ps. i'm glad you're better now and thanks for your video.

Victoria, and most of Australia, is going through a different weather pattern than usual. We are entering a FOURTH year of very rainy weather. Most of this is caused by three negative weather systems from the South Pacific Ocean Dipole, the Indian Ocean Dipole and the Southern Ocean converging. That's why Oz has had so much rain and flooding and why it is looking green straight after summer.(When this weather is in the positive mode we get droughts.) Victoria has some very beautiful mountain ranges which are the tail end of the Great Dividing Range which runs down the eastern side of Oz .In these areas are the green and lush temperate rainforests with lots of rivers and waterfalls .Usually the Easter break is a time when many people holiday and it is sunny and warm in Victoria. That warmth goes into May. Usually!

Unrefrigerated leftover pizza might explain it. Many types of food poisoning. Some happen immediately, some can develop over a couple of days.

While you're in Victoria, you MUST MUST MUST visit some of the towns in the alpines. Especially the town of Bright - it is a very special place and truly gorgeous particularly in autumn. I used to live in Melbourne for 8 years - there is so many different types of landscapes in such short distances.... so make the most of it! Grampians, Otways, Gippsland, Alpines, etc. I miss Victoria so much. P.S. you two are adorbs! xx

It’s the coldest Easter we’ve had in Victoria for many many years. School holidays are on for the next 2 weeks as well, which makes accommodation harder to find and more expensive. Enjoy the Grampians and Great Ocean Rd. 😊

As a local, I commend your choice of places to stop and visit. You've managed to find many of the best spots. Your response to these places is brilliant.

Your photography is brilliant. Shame all the AFL teams have just moved to the state you just came from this coming weekend. You've really dived into fully exploring Australia unlike some others I've watched who just do the tourist things and see nothing.

Great effort guys !!..Even with the squirts you still managed a smile..

you guys serve every time, my fav travel vloggers on youtube by far

Big tip dont eat food left over in car overnight. The Climate still warms the food and help breeds bacteria . Either keep food cold or keep it hot to avoid problems . Im not sure if you drove around but Port Fairy is picturesque along the river inlet and beaches. I think you would have added the vistas in, if you did

If you want to REALLY experience the rest of what Australia has to offer…… I would really love to see people supporting you into being able to travel up through the East Coast, FNQ, the NT and ultimately returning to Perth through the absolutely stunning Kimberly and Mid West WA Coast to really capture the whole essence of Australia 🥰🇦🇺

A "big thing" to add to your list... on the Pacific Highway just north of Lake Munmorah (which is north of Sydney) is a big prawn (shrimp to Americans). There was a service station there and it had been renovated and they had just installed the big prawn when a bush fire burnt down the service station but left the big prawn unhurt. The service station was never rebuilt so the big prawn is just there by itself. Alone... all alone... 😪

ケーブガーデン(洞窟庭園)は、石灰岩が長年に渡って風化して出来た場所なんですね🤔南オーストラリアは自然が満ち溢れていて、広大で時間がゆっくりと過ぎて行く感じ🤗お二人はずっと一緒にいて、いつも仲が良いですが口喧嘩とかはしないんですか😅？

that ant looked like a bull ant (or inch ant for obvious reasons) and while the jaws are huge its actually the stinger that is to worry. They have actually caused some people (who were allergic) to die from them. I got stung once while messing around with a nest and my finger was so swollen and throbbing. Also i HIGHLY reccomend if your able to get up to Cairns in far north queensland (FNQ) to stay at the canopy tree houses, they are pricey but honestly NOTHING compairs to staying there

The sinkhole reminds me of the cenotes in Mexico 😍 I find it strange that it hasn't filled up with water though, but there must be some kind of hole where the water goes through I assume 😄 I've also booked a hotel for the wrong days, it happens haha!

Hope you guys are feeling better 🥰. My hubby and I are West Aussies currently living in Norway and have been watching you since you landed in Australia. We are throughly enjoying your videos! Just love “Tia for scale.” 😂

Awww so sorry you guys got sick, shame. Hope you both feel better soon. Love the "Tia for scale" so cutttteeeeee. You are really the cutest and sweetest chilled couple on RU-vid, loving your style and appreciate all the fun places you are going to. Also appreciate the closeups of the bushland etc. Loving your vlogs and watching from Perth 😃😃✌✌💕💕

Another excellent video. My face is starting to hurt a bit because I end up with a permanent smile all the way through. It is interesting with the things that you choose to show as you drive along. They are such normal things that I’m used to seeing here in Australia but I’m guessing it’s something new for you guys. Helps me appreciate our country even more❤.

I hope you enjoy the Grampian as I grew up 20 minutes from Halls Gap, this is an undiscovered area even for locals let alone international visitors. The reason Victoria is so green at the moment is that it's been such a wet summer. Normally you can get some good weather over Easter but this year it wasn't great to say the least. Next time you are looking for a drink try the Bundaberg Ginger Beer, a truly great Australian drink and nonalcoholic (add Gin if you wish).

Food poisoning is the worst! The Ken Burns guilt zoom was awesome.😂 So was the wiper edit! And the car roof to car trunk! Love it!!

Love watching your videos. Youve done so well on this trip. Many don't realise the vast distance of Australia. Glad you loved Adelaide it's my home town now after growing up on the south coast of NSW. Victoria is know for its cray weather as many Aussies say, when it Victoria it rains, Snows, hails, blows a gale, Sun burns you and is just nice all in one day. And that's before lunch. Safe travels.

Its interesting watching these places that I saw (some of) as a kid over 30 years ago. I grew up in Adelaide and Brisbane and now live in Cairns.

Funny you compared the Climate to Northern California, the huge pine plantations around Mount Gambier are Monterey Pines (Pinus radiata) from California. Chosen because it was thought they'd grow well in the climate.

Hi guys!! Hope you get feeling better Cheveyo! I can still tell by the way you talk, that you don't feel so great but you still move ahead like you always do👍. Thank you Tia for all you do to car for my Son. Love to watch you with Catori! Keep eyes on coastal weather watch , sure you guys already do though. Love ya much and eat salad😁 lol

The Grampians (Dunkeld,and Hall Gap) are very special to me and hopefully special to you !.. (This is where I live).

The story goes that Lady Julia Percy Island (being very flat) was named after an English noblewoman who had very small breasts. The explorer who named it was counting on the fact that she would never see "her" island.

Sad to hear you got food poisoning. That's the one thing I dread when travelling cause it takes precious time off the trip. Take care!

7:06 "FAULTY TOWERS"!!! Our favourite place when in Port Fairy. During a stay in 1989 we had the entire upper floor to ourselves. It is so "popular" with other travellers, who are staying in the modern Motel section, as the bluestone walls don't allow TV waves to enter the rooms, cutting off that essential item for some. A friend of mine from Germany once asked me what crimes I was hiding from him for staying in the old section. When pointing out, that I had to book well ahead organising that basic room, he offered to drive through the night for getting back to Melbourne in comfort. Some people are having no sense for "living Heritage" ...

Hope you got some warmer clothes, you'll need them in VIC and NSW over the next few weeks/months, Winter hasn't started yet but it's late Autumn, so it'll be cooling down. BTW to get the lush green areas you rainy weather. You ducked under the great dividing range into the green belt (anything east of the great dividing range is green, west of the range is dry), Hope you get to see some of the mountains, but also see the lakes, Eastern Victoria and Central cost of NSW have some really beautiful lakes, Sunshine Coast (QLD) has everglades. The mountains of NSW and VIC get snow and have really great ski fields, but it's a bit early in the year for that, so you might have to backtrack for that, or when you come back after your trip home (if it''s not too late in the year)

I just started watching the other day (from Adelaide) and am certainly enjoy watching you guys explore the country. Buying the car, so long as it lasts OK, is a good idea and hope it sees you through the journey. Cheers. Tim

So awesome to see you guys enjoying Australia. .I love it when cool people come and enjoy our beautiful nation .

Glad you're feeling better and that you got a chance to explore. I'd love to see more of the weird Australian roadside attractions on your trip...and get your take on the "Dog on a Tucker Box" and the "Big Merrino" lol

It's so cool seeing my country through your eyes - the things that you notice and that stick out to you that is just like, "yeah, that's normal!" to me 😁 Also really cool that you are actually crossing so much of the country and seeing so much of the variation in our country. We have a LOT of different kinds of scenery, climates, mountains, deserts, tropical areas - everything. Also the "big" spiders are mostly fine. They just hang out and eat other bugs. If you see a smallish spindly spider with a white tip on its body or a small but fatty black spider with a red stripe, no touchy 😁 you got this! Enjoy the hiking!

Welcome to Victoria. Suggestions. Great Ocean Road. Twelve Apostles. Melba Gully or Maites Rest for glow worms. Otway Fly. Numerous waterfalls. Cape Otway Lighthouse. Stay at Bimbi Park if you are interested in Koalas. Redwood (Sequoia) forest. Apollo Bay. Not as busy as towns on GOR as you get closer to Melbourne. Mount Macedon. English type Gardens and Autumn leaves.

i saw a production of a midsummer nights dream in Umpherston cave a few years back. it was amazing, the actors kept leaping in and out of the landscape and there was a chamber orchestra and gorgeous lighting. such an amazing experience

Intrepid and indefatigable are two words that come to mind to describe your spirit and your approach to the ups and downs of travel. Keep it up. Always look fwd to your vlogs👍🏽

Welcome to Australia and hope you enjoy your time in Victoria. Weather would have been warmer a month earlier but you should experience some nice days in April.

Hey, loving the videos. Hope you have a great time in Australia

It’s autumn in Australia atm it will get a lot colder in winter in the southern and eastern states and many parts will get a lot of snow this year

A charming couple in a charming town.

I’ve just come to WA because of you guys. Going to climb the tree at Pembleton tomorrow :)

Welcome to Victoria. Sorry we are having a very chilly wet snap for you. We can have some very nice weather in autumn so fingers crossed for the days to come.

I hope for Tia's sake you go to the Big Koala near the Grampians. Really enjoying the vids too. Can't wait to see what you get up to next

You guys need to go to the football oval in Halls Gap. Kangaroos hang out there constantly. I hope you get lucky and see them. The last time I was there, there was probably 30-40 roos on the oval.

OMG so much nostalgia for. Ive visited Mt. Gambier many times and the sink hole, its very pretty there. Oh and lets not forget the Blue Lake. I use to live 30minutes to the west of Dunkeld in Hamilton, my sister use to work in Dunkeld. Halls Gap is stunning, i hope you enjoyed it.

You need to visit Cradle Mountain in one of our greatest states, Tasmania. Awesome to see you both apreciate this country for what it is and don't see it for what it is not, the mark of a true traveller.

It’s Autumn (fall) but that’s certainly the coolest season before winter. Victoria is one of the cooler states but once the sun comes out you can get some super high UV days.

Love that you have made it to Victoria - the beaches are awesome here even in the winter- actually I prefer them in the winter I believe you plan to fly out of Melbourne I hope you get back to see the eastern end of the state soon (I live in a coastal town 350 km east of Melbourne) East Gippsland is pretty awesome I hope you enjoyed the Grampians 😄💕 Love you videos, they always make me smile

Love your work guys. Love your happy disposition and your spontaneity. Glad you're feeling better.

Most of Victoria western coast in refered to as SHIP WRECK COAST.

Some wonderful walks in the Grampians.

Really glad you guys are taking the time to see Australia properly 😊 There's so much more to our country than Sydney Harbour and the Opera House, lovely as they are. Hope you've recovered from the food poisoning. It's really the pits!

Loved that sink hole wow that was beautiful my partners yelling from the other lounge sink hole who wants to look at a sink hole!! Hahaha umm its a beautiful sink hole look!! Owe wow thats amazing Yes it is now shhhuuushh up!! LOL New booking was a great fix well done Weathers same as perth at the moment waiting on the cyclone we are!!! Safe travels as Always from me 🤜🤛

This south eastern part of Australia once you get near Mount Gambier is so beautiful. The Blue lake has a really different blue depending on the sun and time of year. The Grampians are also very beautiful. Poor you guys feeling sick that sucks. On a bright note Cheveyo has a future career as an Australian wildlife presenter with that Ozzie accent.

9:25 The town started out as "Belfast" ...

You guys could get a job with tourism board…😅 Love Robe and Mt Gambier… glad you enjoyed..

I immediately recognised the car park for the sink hole. When I was there it was evening time and the possums were out. We happened to have some fruit which they loved. Unfortunately, there's a wood treatment plant right next to the sink hole and when the wind blows from that direction it absolutely reeks. Greetings from Adelaide :)

I hope you guys managed to make the most of the good weather over the last two days and see the Great Ocean Road! Looking forward to seeing your next video.

Absolutely LOVE that white Camry you parked next to... What a classic!!!

They used to use the sinkholes in Mt Gambier to dump their rubbish, some of the others weren't cleaned out till the 70s. Port Fairy is the loveliest town, staying there myself in a month before heading to Tasmania from Adelaide.

It’s so interesting to see what Australia looks like from someone else’s perspective and although I live in Victoria you’ve already given me a few ideas of places to go! I hope you enjoy your time here❣️If you end up in the north of Victoria I’d really recommend going to Bright, especially closer to winter when you get to see the snowy mountains

You will love the wildlife that free roams through Halls Gap. When I was there there was deer and Kangaroos about the place. Spectacular views, excellent water fall. Shame about the food poisoning but at least you are well now.

It's a sweet walk down memory lane following your journey through Australia, as my wife and I cruised along pretty much the exact same route so far but 20 years ago. We did have a little more time though and it took us five months to get all the way up to Cairns with our old Holden Commodore Station Wagon. Loved the Grampians a lot, the hiking and the views are awesome. If Tia ever wants to feel like a Disney princess, we highly recommend a visit to Wilsons Promontory NP, southeast of Melbourne, where you can just hold out your hand out and a Crimson Rosella might just land on your arm. Also, the scenery is unbelievable with beautiful beaches and forrests all around. Looking forward to your next adventures. Greetings from Switzerland.

Feel better soon guys!!♥

one of my favorite clips so far.. who filmed it ? the scenery, wiping of windshield ? superb editing and the photography were stunning...

In a previous video you guys mentioned seeing an AFL (footy) match. No place is better to see one than the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Although, you might be a bit out of luck as the upcoming round of AFL 13th - 16th April is being played only in South Australia for a special round. However, if you plan on staying near Melbourne for a while, you can’t go past the ANZAC Day game 25th April at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (might be sold out). Next best option is the game on the 24th also at the same stadium, which will also have a very good atmosphere as it’s between two Melbourne based teams that are both good teams generally and have large fan bases.

The south coast of NSW is absolutely stunning and scattered with little towns full of character- Narooma, Merimbula, Batemans Bay, Moto, Ulladulla etc, Please make sure you take the coast road to Sydney rather than going via Canberra.

Hello to you both from former residents of the Great Ocean Road.... a word of advice....if you happen to be driving around dawn or dusk be on the lookout for the wildlife as it is the time they are out grazing and can be disturbed by cars and run or hop on to the road. We greatly enjoy watching your vlogs and are so happy that you are finding Victoria an enjoyable experience. Thanks and see you in Melbourne!

Love your show keep up the good work.

the Pinnacle walk is a must in the Grampians. Take drinking water. watch out for roos and deer on the road while driving through the Grampians.

Told you Vic was having a COLD snap....by the end of the week the weather will improve so that you can enjoy some sights. Rug up guys.

Love the content! If you haven't left Victoria yet, I guarantee you will love the quick drive through the "Black Spur" between the towns of Healesville and Narbethong, you would also love Wilsons Promontory National Park as there is an abundance of wildlife that is not afraid to approach humans and the beaches and forest will take your breath away. The highway to Sydney is quite boring, a much more scenic way is via the Australian alps through Lakes Entrance, Omeo, Dinner Plain, Bright, Myrtleford, Beechworth, Albury/Wodonga. When in NSW, Blue mountains are a must see :)

50.3K subscribers!! congrats!

You arrived just in time to enjoy a cold blast from Antarctica. You are now at the southernmost part of the continent.

My husband and I just did the Great Ocean Road a few weeks ago from Adelaide to the Bellarine Peninsula (near Geelong) and then through to Halls Gap on the way home. It is an amazing road trip and we stopped at Robe, Port Fairy (minus the food poisoning you poor things) Port Campbell , Lorne and Queenscliff then onto Halls Gap. Enjoy and hope you get dowin to the Great Ocean road after the lovely Grampians :)

all food included and drinks

I started watching you guys when you arrived in Australia. I'm enjoying your journey and videos very much. You two are naturals. You have chosen your destinations wisely. We are in central Victoria. Lovely area but I'm sure the bright lights of Melbourne/Sydney are calling you.

The Grampians are beautiful.. will be cold at this time of the year, especially at night.

You two are so sweet 👍

The aggressive ant was a Bull Ant it has a stinger on its rear end, don't let one sting you as you will be sorry.

Great video! (Except for being sick!) You’ll have to come back to SA in warmer weather and got to the Naracoorte swimming lake and Mt.Schank’s Little Blue Lake 🩵 I’m in Adelaide and would love to host you both next time you’re passing through!

we have been on the road around Australia for ten years

Closing in on my favorite Australian city...Melbourne! Great multi-cultural food city. You must seek out Yang's fried soup dumplings. They are from Shanghai, so good. Hawker Chans opened there too. They are from Singapore and was one of the cheapest Michelin star places in Singapore.

Hey kids…Hope you get well soon. If you are heading back to the coast and the Great Ocean Road keep your eye out for the Pole House at Fairhaven. If you decide to come to Melbourne via the Western Highway - a stop at Seppelts winery at Great Western to go through the wine cellars and drives is a must! Happy trails👍

Guys between port fairy and Warrnambool make sure you drive through tower hill. When in Warrnambool make sure you visit lake pertobe and the breakwater !

Thanks for the last two bids which I really enjoyed. Grew up in and around Adelaide and spent time near Robe. Now in Far North Queensland. Hope you enjoy the Grampians and see koala in the wild. Great hiking and rock climbing opportunities.

Traveling with sickness is always a battle, well done for toughing it out! Halls Gap is wonderful, just be careful driving around there at night as the wildlife seem to come out more. April in Victoria is usually the month when the weather shifts from mild to cold, so wear something warm! There is a cold front pushing through currently. But rest up and enjoy the scenery around The Grampians!

The Blue lake in Mount Gambier is a natural springwater lake inside a Volcano. Its the drinking supply for the region and its amazing natural water to bath in and drink etc. But its a shame you missed the Valley Lake. Its the twin volcano that has been turned into a recreational lake (for water skiing) and a massive recreational reserve. With barbecue areas, adventure areas etc There is a wildlife park there too with ton of native animals bounding (or hiding) around, like Kangaroos, Wallaby's, Echidnas and tons of bird life. And its all free all year round. Head back and see it some time.

I was keeping an eye out for you guys in Mt Gambier. It's a shame you didn't have the time to explore the area in a little more depth. The Grampians are beautiful. Enjoy.

I grew up in this area is South Australia, next to the Victorian border.... You guys missed a lot of the good stuff

It's ok to have a wonky day or two. Loving the content and looking forward to seeing what you capture along the Great Ocean Rd

You should have visited Naracoorte Caves.

Hey guys, welcome to Victoria the Garden State I think you will find out why its so named and yes indeed its heading towards winter so rug up keep warm but mostly enjoy. Also, when you finally get to Melbourne you gotta try the coffee there its next level as is the food but look out for those hook turns while driving in the city damned if I can work then out lol.

I hope the weather fine up soon as there is more rain on the way. Adelaide had a down poor and a bit of a thunderstorm Tuesday night. It has been a very weird autumn though. Like I say it is the crossing over the season from summer to winter.

Make sure to stop by Canberra on your trip. There’s plenty of free things to do here.

Have you passed Apollo Bay yet? Triplet Falls are just an hour north of the Bay. Cascading at the moment, but the 1hr walk includes the rain forest. Home of Euc. Regnans. (Mountain Ash) Second only to the Sequoia in height but still the worlds tallest flowering plant. And Fish and Chips from the Fishers Co-op bu the jetty, or a scallop pie from a pie shpo on the main drag. Delicious.
